Global Group Supervision Certification

“Are you ready for a roller coaster ride?” - Cecile

As many supervisors begin working with groups, they are realizing that they need more training, and we have received requests to provide training specifically on group supervision. Also, as a cost effective way of learning and reflecting in community, more coaches are looking to group supervision. In this virtual certificate program, trained supervisors will have an opportunity to learn more about group supervision through theory, practice, and reflection.

Ideal for: Trained Coaching Supervisors
Dates: May 18, 2021 – December 14, 2021

About the Program

This program consists of 60 hours:

• Sixteen (16) sessions over 8 months consisting of 8 webinars of 2.5 hours each and 8 practice group supervision activities.

• Facilitating your own supervision group outside of the class.

• Self-study (including readings) and interactive postings on Basecamp.

This program aligns with the EMCC supervision competency model especially related to group supervision. This program will have a diversity lens integrated into the modules.
